now that I'm not drinking ?

I have trouble getting it going at work now worse than when I was up all night drinking.

I don't get it ? :?

How long has it been?

Congratulations first off for not drinking anymore. I'm sorry you were rewarded with being tired now.

I don't know how long it's been since you stopped drinking, but there could be a medical condition here. Is it possible you were drinking to self medicate something you don't know you have? Now that the alcohol is gone, your brain is asking for that or another chemical to fill those receptors.

I would suggest you see a doc. Just to have a blood test. Perhaps you have a thyroid problem.

Although, it could be your energy levels will increase the further away from drinking you get. I hope you feel better soon and for good health in the coming year.

That is why you feel tired. You have to eat to have energy. I understand the not being interested in food though. Careful, if you get too weak, I'm gonna pin you down and give you crows until you agree to get your shit back together. Nobody wants to see that...

absolutely- you need to fuel the body or it just can't work. I've noticed that when I eat bad or not enough I just can't seem to get through the day.
I know its hard, but you have to think and take care of yourself- even if you don't feel it. Because in the end, there is no one but you to take care of you.

go to a greek restaurant..eat mousaka..and u are ok..

its not just the lack of food its most likely a combination of many things in your life right now
alcohol withdrawal does not only effect the body it effects the mind very much so- sadly it is an emotional support system that many are addicted to- it gets lots of people through a day just anticipating that after work cocktail
you are also sad right now -maybe depressed- this zaps energy and in that state its hard to face the day in the morning
maybe not sleeping as well -
you're maybe worried too
so its all of it - everything at once - good news is
it will not last

b/c it's not *just* the not drinking.
it's the depression over your girl, the not drinking, and the not eating and/or eating healthfully.


you need to take care of yourself wolf.
then, in time....when you feel emotionally better, your body will already be feeling good, and you'll be golden.

Trust me bro...I am speaking from experience in dealing with alot of the same shit you are. I lost 35lbs the first 6 weeks of my separation and had some of the same kinds of issues as you. You dont think about eating or doing anything that is condusive to making yourself feel better or function properly, but YOU HAVE TOO! You have to make a conscious effort to do those things, or you WILL MAKE YOURSELF SICK as I did! I let it go too long and just pushed my health aside. Your body is in shock right now because you are out of your normal routine. Even if it is not normal to you, you need to get some sort of a schedule down and get back on some kind of track. Take some vitamin c...drink lots of fluids...juices and fruits and just give your body something to kind of even itself out and fuel yourself....Stress, no sleep, no eating and just generally being off, can really wreak havoc. Do yourself the favor and try to right yourself soon...

Sorry to preach, but I have just read so many similarities in how we dealt with some issues and how our minds and bodies responded, I felt that I should give you my worthless opinion!! :-)....BE SOUND!!
